Pastafazoole

One of the very best Italian dishes is Pasta e Fagiloe. We always called it Pastafazoole.
This is the world's tastiest and fastest decently nutritious meal. Recipe serves 4 hungry people or 6 New Yorkers.

Ingredients:
A&P Master's Choice Marinara Tomato Sauce. large size.***
1 can of chick peas
1 box of Whole Wheat pasta. (elbows, penne, or any smallish pasta you like)
pot of water - 4 quarts or larger
salt.

Put the pot of water on the stove. Turn on the heat and add some salt to the water. When the water boils, add the pasta. Cook according to package directions.
When done, drain the pasta reserving 1 cup of pasta water. Return the pasta to the pot.
Pour the whole jar of sauce into the pot.
Heat it up for a minute or two to get the flavors immersed in the pasta.
Serve.

For the non vegans in your life, you can add grated Locatelli Romano cheese. Not Parmesan, please.

Eat this with a small salad and it is a wonderful meal. Garlic bread would also be delicious too.


*** (no other will do-if you cannot find it, do another recipe. Why? Because for my money Master's Choice is the best tomato sauce there is that is not made with meat. It has tomatoes, fresh onion, garlic olive oil and spices. That's it - and you can taste the freshness)
